中国人的精神3.14
方疏桐
Lastly these “Adversaria,“—Dr.Giles' latest publication—will not, I am afraid, enhance Dr.Giles' reputation as a scholar of sense and judgment.The subjects chosen, for the most part, have no earthly practical or human interest.It would really seem that Dr.Giles has taken the trouble to write these books not with any intention to tell the world anything about the Chinese and their literature but to show what a learned Chinese scholar Dr.Giles is and how much better he understands Chinese than anybody else.Moreover, Dr.Giles, here as elsewhere, shows a harsh and pugnacious dogmatism which is as unphilosophical, as unbecoming a scholar as it is unpleasing.It is these characteristics of sinologues like Dr.Giles which have made, as Mr.Hopkins says, the very name of sinologue and Chinese scholarship a byword and scorn among practical foreign residents in the Far East.
